Popular Shimotakai District 4-star Hotels

The room was very comfortable and clean, and the bedding was great. The refrigerator has free drinks juice and beer, and it is free to fill up every day. The private soup in the villa is also very good, very comfortable and private. We booked breakfast and have Japanese and Western options (not buffet form). The location of the villa is convenient, just a few minutes walk from Hell Valley Park, and 2 minutes from the bus stop. It is very convenient to go skiing in the snow field. In short, it is a very good hotel. If money is not a problem, it is highly recommended. If the only drawback is that if you play other places in Nagano, you need to have a transportation to Nagano and then continue. We chose the bus, about 1 hour to Nagano. In addition, if you take the electric rail to Yudanzhong Station, it is a bit awkward to get off the bus. After asking for a long time, I realized that there is a small house opposite the station that can dispatch a taxi, 3.5 kilometers, 1700 yen. I have already suggested to the hotel that I should leave the hotel mailbox for better communication. At present, the platform provides Japanese phone calls. Who will call the international long-distance and ask how to get there? I don't know, I didn't call, because even if the hotel tells you, you are also confused and do not know what to do.

It is a very small town, very quiet. There are Chinese staff, very enthusiastic, you can ask them for help if you need any help. There is a wild monkey park nearby, you can go to see the little monkeys taking a hot spring bath. The hotel provides pick-up and drop-off, and there is a shuttle bus schedule.

The hotel is elegantly decorated, with exquisite furnishings and a very Japanese style. The hotel is about 500 meters away from Yudanaka Station. It is not in the same location as the Shibu Onsen Street and the hotel group near Yudanaka Station. It is a slightly deserted location. This Japanese-style river view room has a large area, is very warm in the room, and the window view is also unique. The room facilities are also complete, and there are drinks and snacks for check-in. However, the Japanese tatami feels a bit hard, and the pillow feels bumpy when sleeping. The sound insulation is poor, and you can hear footsteps upstairs. The breakfast is relatively rich, but there are more Japanese meals, and I am not used to it. The overall feeling is still good.

The location of the hotel is close to Yudanaka Station,only 4-minute walk.The twin room is spacious and comfortable,but the area near the window is slightly cold.The onsen is clean and spacious.View woman outdoor onsen ia great,can clearly see the mountains.The kaiseki dinner was very deicious.We are very impressed with Tsubakino Hotel.

From the moment you enter Kokuya Ryokan, be prepared to leave the real world behind and fully immerse yourself in the experience. You swap your shoes for slippers at the door and don’t see them again until you leave. You will receive a warm welcome from polite and gentle-mannered staff, get taken up to your beautiful room, and once you’ve changed into your traditional yukata, it’s time to let the relaxation begin. The multi-course dinner will probably be one of the best meals you’ve had in your life, with many unusual textures and flavors to try. The futons are comfortable, and your room is kept toasty warm. There are even skincare products to keep you pampered and moisturized between soaks in the onsen. Honestly, you won’t even need to open your suitcase while you’re there. The staff will take you through all the logistics when you arrive, but there are some things that might be useful to know in advance. - The ryokan sends a shuttle to Yudanaka station at about 15:00 to collect new arrivals, so time your journey to take advantage of this benefit. - The ryokan also offers guests the opportunity to catch a shuttle to the Snow Monkey Park immediately after breakfast the next morning. - After you leave the ryokan, they will take your luggage down to the coffee shop opposite the station, so you don’t need to worry about those logistics. - Trains from Yudanaka back to Nagano leave at 12:30 and 15:30. - The ryokan itself has several private onsens that you can reserve for a 45-minute slot. Because the onsens are on the property, you can go in with your partner or travel companions regardless of gender. It’s a boutique hotel, so you don’t have to worry about not getting access to all the onsens you want. - The ryokan is on the main road of the Shibu Onsen town. The hotel will give you a key so you can wonder down the main road, visiting any of the public onsens you wish - however, with so many gorgeous and more private onsens in the hotel itself, you probably won’t have time or the desire for this. - Also, there is a coffee machine in the room! (I was worried about having to survive without coffee, and this turned out to be an unfounded concern). We had an incredible and totally indulgent time at Kokuya. Experiencing a traditional ryokan is a privilege that you should try at least once if you can. And adding the Snow Monkeys in give the trip a double purpose, making it that much more memorable. The only thing that would have made the trip better is if we had been allowed to linger longer over every course of our dinner.

The boss service is very intimate and thoughtful! The room is very clean, the outdoor hot spring, the environment is very good

It was a very fun 2 nights and 3 days! It was the time of check-in that I was worried about before going. It was from 16 o'clock and I thought it was late ～. Arrived before 15 o'clock. If you thought you would go skiing as it was after check-in, you were ready for the room, so I was able to pass it. Thank you for upgraded to ”this is convenient”. I was happy with the room with a high top floor with a high ceiling and a snowy view. It was easy to get in and out of the ski locker and come back from skiing. I was happy with the air spray at the entrance of the ski area. I enjoyed the sunset from the bath and the pool. 3 days, we were able to enjoy it ＼ (^-^) ／

I highly recommend this hotel, it should be one of the best in Nozawa. The rooms are spacious and the hotel staff are also very professional and enthusiastic. I especially recommend the hotel's own hot springs, which have very good facilities and are decorated in a romantic atmosphere. It happened that after skiing, it was snowing, and the open-air hot spring felt particularly good.
